Do you say my family is or you say my family are?
You say: my family is...
The noun 'family' is a singular noun. The plural noun is families.
You say: the families are...
Nouns like team, army, class, family, jury, ect are called collective nouns. We use them as singular unit or members as individuals. We may use family both ways with a difference in meaning.
Examples:
My family is leaving for London tomorrow. (All the members of family as a single unit)
My family are having their lunch. (Lunch is taken individually-one by one)
Our team played well. (Members of the team as a single unit)
The team are taking their seats. (Individual seats for each member)
Preferably: We should say : The members of my family are leaving for London tomorrow. It avoids ambiguity.
Is it correct grammar to say northern of a city?
No. "Of a city" needs to modify a preceding noun, and "northern" is an adjective, rather than being a noun. But "northern part of a city" or "north of a city" would both be okay, because "part" and "north" can be nouns.
I don't understand why "of a city" needs to modify a preceding noun, however (if that is really true). In some other examples, a prepositional phrase with "of" can go with a preceding adjective -- for instance in "desirous of being chosen".
Is it correct to say please see the attached subject?
It is grammatically correct.
However I prefer to say: "kindly refer to the attachment"

Indifference is a state of apathy or lack of interest towards something or someone. It can manifest as an emotional detachment or a sense of disinterest or unconcern. It often involves a lack of empathy or investment in the situation at hand.
What is correct you have visited or you visited?
They are both correct. They are not used in the same kinds of sentences.
"You have visited" is present perfect and "you visited" is simple past tense.
You would use "you have visited" if you wanted to indicate that the result of the visit is still important or you were going to discuss things that happened before or after.
Is it he was seen by yourself or seen by you grammar?
Yes, you could say he was seen by yourself, or he was seen by you, but the simpler way to express that idea would be, you saw him. In most cases, a simpler phrasing will work better.
According to proscriptive English grammar, both sides of a copula should be in the subjective case. In other words, "It's I" is formally correct, and "It's me" is incorrect.
However, most speakers do not speak according to the proscriptive grammar, and most speakers would find "It's I" to be unnecessarily formal and stilted. Likewise, most people would say "It's me," and would fail to notice anything wrong with that phrase upon hearing it or seeing it in writing.
Always consider your audience. If the reader hesitates on the awkward "It's I" -- even to admire your good grammar -- then they are distracted from the point you are trying to make. Following grammar rules will help you communicate effectively in most cases; but the ultimate goal is communication, not following rules.

Which one is correct Do not send or Do not sent?
The correct phrase is "Do not send." "Send" is the correct verb form in this context.
Is may also have a verb phrase?
Yes, "may" can function as a modal auxiliary verb in a sentence. When used in this way, it indicates permission, possibility, or potentiality. For example: "You may go to the party if you finish your work."
A participle is a form of a verb that can act as an adjective. In English, there are two main types of participles: present participles (ending in -ing, e.g., "running") and past participles (often ending in -ed, e.g., "broken"). Participles are used to add description or detail to a sentence.
It depends on the context. "He saw" is the correct past tense form, while "he see" is not grammatically correct in standard English.
